……

The next day, still in the morning, Zhao Junchen officially announced the disbandment of the new army.

For a time, the whole army was in an uproar.

The formation of the new army of soldiers is only a short period of less than two months, but the combat power, role, and merits of this army can be clearly seen by anyone, and during several wars, it was the new army of soldiers who charged ahead, shouldered the most urgent battlefield tasks, repeatedly turned the tide, and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, even in the face of the most elite Mongolian iron cavalry, they did not show weakness, and it can be said that it was the pillar of the northwest frontier army.

No one expected that the Shaanxi-Gansu War had just come to an end, and such a strong and meritorious army would suddenly be disbanded!

This approach is quite suspicious of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Compared with the discussion of other armies, the officers and men of the new army of soldiers were naturally even more unacceptable after receiving the news of their disbandment.

Just as Zhao Junchen worried, although the establishment of the new army is very short, but the treatment, strength, military merits, and morale atmosphere of this army are far more than ordinary border troops, they have repeatedly proved their role as the mainstay on the battlefield, and have already become recognized elite bravery, all the officers and men have a strong sense of identity and pride in this army, and they have also developed a deep comradeship with each other, and now suddenly I heard the news that the new army of soldiers will be disbanded immediately. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept it no matter what, and all the soldiers were extremely angry.

If it weren't for Zhao Junchen's deliberate advice, He Zhang, Mao Jiadong, Liu Manniu and other high-level military attachés of the New Army of Soldiers appeared in the camp in time to stabilize the morale of the army, but I am afraid that the soldiers of the New Army would have mutinied.

In fact, even with the prestige of He Zhang, Mao Jiadong, Liu Manniu and others in the army, they can only control the situation for a short time at this time, if the Huamachi battalion cannot come up with a reasonable explanation, the soldiers of the new army will sooner or later make trouble in front of the governor's palace and force Zhao Junchen to come forward to explain in person.

Fortunately, Zhao Junchen quickly gave an explanation to the soldiers of the New Army, and quickly calmed the emotions of all the soldiers of the New Army.

Zhao Junchen's explanation is his promotion arrangement for all the soldiers of the New Army!

For the sake of the promotion arrangements for the officers and men of the new army this time, Zhao Junchen got all the vacancies of middle and lower-level military attaches in Shaanxi and Gansu, and did not leave even a little oil and water for other high-level officials, and the promotion intensity this time was naturally unprecedented.

As long as the soldiers of the new army have military merits, they will inevitably be promoted to a certain extent, and the small soldiers have been promoted to become small flags, and the small flags have been promoted to become general flags, and the general flags have been promoted to deputy 100 households or 100 households, and 100 households have been promoted to deputy 1000 households or 1000 households!

Not only have they been promoted to official positions, but they are all real positions!

For a time, nearly half of the officers and men of the new army of soldiers became military attachés at the bottom of the border army, and 52 deputy military attachés of 100 households, 37 military attachés of 100 households, 21 deputy military attachés of 1000 households, and 15 military attachés of 1000 households emerged in one go.

Even those officers and men of the new army who lacked military merit and failed to be promoted have all been promised to be promoted in the future.

The vast majority of people are realistic, and the glory and comradeship of the army are certainly precious, but if they are compensated for the actual benefits, the disbandment of the new army will no longer be an unacceptable thing.

Therefore, after receiving the promotion notice, the officers and men of the new army quickly dissipated their anger, but at noon they were already gathered together to celebrate their promotion and imagine a better future.

*

At noon on this day, several veteran military attachés of the New Army gathered together and set up a banquet to celebrate their promotion.

Mao Jiadong, the commander of the cavalry battalion, Liu Manniu, the commander of the first infantry battalion, Zhang Cheng, the commander of the second battalion of the infantry army, Li Pi, the commander of the third infantry battalion, and so on, all of them were listed.

Among the crowds, Li Pi's temperament is the most out-of-the-box, and after he saw that everyone was all here, he couldn't help but preemptively say: "Haha, these of us were the first to follow Lord Qincha, and it can be said that we are the descendants of Lord Qincha, and Lord Qincha has not treated us badly now...... My military merits this time are not high, but I was also promoted to become the thousand-household official of the Thousand Households Office on the South Road of Yulin Town! Haha, this is a real military attache of a thousand households, with thousands of border troops and hundreds of military households under his hands, and the area of hundreds of miles west of Linhe County is all up to me alone! …… Earn big! This time it's really profitable! Sure enough, there is meat to eat! ”

After speaking, Li Pi took the wine glass and drank it all, then turned his head to the other people and asked, "What kind of promotion arrangements are the brothers?" Speak it up and listen to it! Now that we know where you are located, let's get in touch with each other in the future! ”

Nie Cheng, the deputy commander of the first infantry battalion, was also full of joy, and said: "I am lucky this time, and I have a lot of military achievements, and I am also promoted to become a thousand households in real office, and the station is the Yaoqiu Thousand Households on the North Road of Guyuan Military Town. ”

As Nie Cheng took the initiative to answer, several military attachés at the banquet told them about their promotion arrangements.

"Haha, I was arranged to serve as the official of the Thousand Households in the Jihe Thousand Households on Yulin West Road, and it is less than three hundred miles away from Brother Li Pi's station, and the two of us will indeed get closer in the future!"

"My luck is worse, but I was promoted to become the Qianhu official of the Ningxia Military Town's Gubian Acropolis, although it is also a real position, but it is also subject to the direct control of the Gubian Guard Town Guard, unlike a few brothers who can control one side...... Alas, whoever made my military achievements this time not high, there is no way to do it! ”

"My luck is even worse, I was only promoted to the deputy Qianhu of the Jining Health Center, but I heard that the Zhengqianhu of the Jining Health Center is now fifty-three years old and will leave the army soon, and I will be able to take over at that time!"

Everyone got a good job, and they were all elated.

After everyone explained their promotion arrangements, they focused their attention on Mao Jiadong, Liu Manniu, and Zhang Cheng.

Among the people, Mao Jiadong has followed Zhao Junchen for the longest time, and he is still from Jinyiwei, so he is born to be superior; Liu Manniu is the leader of the people in the tent, and this time he also killed the most enemies and had the highest military achievements; Zhang Cheng didn't gain much military merit this time because he couldn't catch up with the war, but he was born in Wuju, and he has always been valued by Zhao Junchen, the minister of the Qincha, and he must be promoted.

Therefore, all the military attaches in the tent wanted to know their promotion arrangements.

According to the speculation of Li Pi, Nie Cheng and others, these three must have gotten the best promotion arrangement.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mao Jiadong said slowly: "I am from the background of Jinyiwei, even Lord Qincha can't make the decision on my promotion arrangement, so I am still the official position of Jinyiwei Baihu, but Lord Qincha has promised me that he will list my name on the meritorious service, and my promotion arrangement should not be decided until I return to Beijing." ”

Hearing Mao Jiadong's answer, everyone was envious, Li Pi hurriedly raised his wine glass and said: "Brother Mao's name should be listed above the meritorious performance, this is really amazing!" Which of those names in the Gong Song Shu is not a high-level civil and military official of the imperial court? Brother Mao will inevitably be rewarded by the imperial court this time, maybe he can become a high-level military attache above the fourth rank in one fell swoop, and he is a powerful and powerful yamen like Jinyiwei, don't forget the friendship between us in the future, if you have the opportunity, you must bring up the brothers! ”

With the drive of Li Pi, the military attaches at the banquet raised their glasses to toast Mao Jiadong, and Mao Jiadong also raised his glass and said: "We are all brothers in the same room, and we will definitely help each other in the future!" ”

After they all drank it all, everyone focused on Liu Manniu and Zhang Cheng.

Liu Manniu said in a deep voice: "My temperament is dull, not as delicate and clear as my brothers, so I don't have the blessing of being in charge, and now I am also promoted to a thousand household officials, and I was transferred to the account of Fang Zhenshan, the general soldier of Guyuan, to listen to orders." ”

After hearing Liu Manniu's answer, everyone was a little incredible, and they only felt that Liu Manniu's reward was a little low.

Seeing that everyone was about to be upset for Liu Manniu, Liu Manniu said again: "This is by no means Lord Qincha who treats me badly, but that he has other arrangements for me!"

A total of more than 4,000 officers and men of our new army have been promoted this time, but including the second and third battalions of the infantry who failed to catch up with the battle in time, there are still more than 5,000 people who have not been promoted! The future of these Robe Brothers is still undecided, and half of them will be assigned to the brothers' stations to become your henchmen, and their future will depend on you, and the other half will be in charge of me!

Lord Qincha sent someone to summon me, saying that it was very likely that the imperial court would send troops to recover the Hetao in the future, and then the general army would send me to the front line to kill the enemy, and there would be another opportunity for meritorious service. ”

After listening to Liu Manniu's explanation, everyone knew that Liu Manniu would have to seek a future for those robes who had not been promoted in the future, which could be described as a heavy responsibility and heavy responsibility, so they toasted Liu Manniu one after another, saying that if Liu Manniu was useful to them in the future, they would definitely do their best to help.

In the end, only Zhang Cheng was left who had not yet said his promotion arrangement.

Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Cheng raised his wine glass and took a sip, then said slowly: "Everyone also knows that my physical condition is no longer suitable for dancing knives and guns, so I have decided to quit the army, and this promotion arrangement is naturally not my share!" ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, everyone was shocked.

It stands to reason that Zhang Chengnai is a talented person who is both civil and military, and his future is also the most ambitious among everyone, but he didn't expect to leave the army completely just because of an accident, and everyone sighed with regretful expressions.

Although they were reluctant to give up, they also knew Zhang Cheng's physical condition, but they didn't say anything to keep it, but just invited Zhang Cheng to live in their residence for a long time, so that they could have the opportunity to take care of Zhang Cheng and Zhang Cheng's family.

Most of these people have been promoted to become a thousand households, and they are already the highest level of middle-level military attachés in the border army, and everything within the station is decided by them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperor of the soil, and they are naturally capable of taking care of Zhang Cheng for a lifetime.

In the face of everyone's kindness, Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, I left the army this time and lost the opportunity for promotion, but it is also a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse, Lord Qincha, he pitied my situation, but let me return to the capital with him and continue to serve him!" At the same time, I also selected more than 800 wounded soldiers in the army who were in a similar situation to me, and they would go with me to the capital, and Lord Qincha would arrange for them to live a worry-free life at that time. ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone present was stunned, with different expressions.

But they no longer sympathized with Zhang Cheng's situation, but instead showed envy on their faces.

Zhang Cheng has obviously been accepted as a cronie by Zhao Junchen, and although he has lost his status as a military attaché, his future may become even more ambitious.

At the same time, knowing that Zhao Junchen is not only still concerned about the robes who failed to be promoted, but also arranged errands for the wounded soldiers, everyone's recognition and gratitude for Zhao Junchen became more and more high, and they only felt that it was the luckiest thing in their lives to meet Zhao Junchen in their lives.

So, everyone raised their glasses again.

Liu Manniu said: "Brothers, let us drink this glass of wine together, not only to congratulate Brother Zhang Cheng on their blessing in disguise, but also to wish Lord Qincha and his old man a long life!" ”

As Liu Manniu's words fell, everyone drank it with solemn expressions.

Zhang Cheng's internal organ injury has not yet recovered, so he still put down the wine glass after just taking a sip, and then said meaningfully: "This morning, I have already met Lord Qincha, Lord Qincha, what he means is that we people are now in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and the future connection must not be broken, and we still have to watch and help each other!" Lord Chincha will secretly support you in the temple, and after you go to your respective stations, you will still have to serve Lord Chincha, and only by holding together can we keep everything we are doing now, and even go further! We are still only a thousand households and a deputy thousand households, but in the future, we may not be able to become garrison officers, generals, or even the general soldiers of the town guard! ”

After hearing Zhang Cheng's statement, everyone agreed and eagerly on their faces, and they all agreed loudly.

Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, and said, "From now on, I will be responsible for the contact between Lord Qincha and you, and I hope that you brothers will take care of it more in the future!" ”
